Scientists Link Spike in Thyroid Disease to Fukushima Disaster

2. Mangano's self-serving lies

From the above, Mangano tells us that radiation is about the only cause of hypothyroidism:

There are very few other known causes of hypothyroidism other than exposure to radioactive iodine,

If one goes to ANY of the online medical information reference sites, one can find that the above is one of Mangano's self-serving LIES:

Hypothyroidism is a very common condition. It is estimated that 3% to 5% of the population has some form of hypothyroidism. The condition is more common in women than in men,

From the Mayo Clinic:

When your thyroid doesn't produce enough hormones, the balance of chemical reactions in your body can be upset. There can be a number of causes, including autoimmune disease, treatment for hyperthyroidism, radiation therapy, thyroid surgery and certain medications.

So the readership here is again treated to another bout of MISINFORMATION courtesy of Joseph Mangano.

Mangano is following his well-worn tactic of zeroing in on what is a very common malady, so that there are statistics to show a large affected populace.

However, Mangano tells his readers a self-serving LIE which is that radiation is the only known cause of this malady or some other such nonsense.

You would think that Mangano would have some shame; having been shown to be a classic sham and charlatan, but as long as there are people he can fool and take advantage of with his lies; he keeps right on going.
